Cromato Chrome Paint Effect

Cromato Chrome Paint Effect

Beautifully Brilliant Chrome Paint Effect

The chrome paint effect, called CROMATO, beautifully transforms regular surfaces into a chrome finish with a radiant shine.

There are 7 standard colors: Chrome, Gold 1, Gold 2, Bronze 1, Bronze 2, Bronze 3, and Copper.

The Chrome color can be used for interior and exterior surfaces. However, the Gold, Bronze and Copper colors are for interior use only due to low UV resistance of the color pigments in the paints. The products are professional quality solvent-based paints that allow users to achieve a bright chrome shine that features excellent resistance to cleaning.

The surface or object must be sprayed with a gravity feed spray gun in a clean painting area or spray booth to achieve the best chrome effect. The paints can be sprayed on wood, metal, plastic, and glass surfaces because we use specially formulated primers to have good adhesion to the various materials. After the paints are applied, the result is a lustrous chrome finish with good resistance and is non-yellowing. To observe the true chromatic reflection, it is suggested to apply the paints on surfaces that have a shape, are curved or they are metallic surfaces where the chrome paints are enhanced through the natural reflection of light off the surface as you can see in the below pictures.

 

 

The Cromato effect is not difficult to apply, but we suggest to make tests to understand how to achieve the best chrome results on your surface or object. The paint must be applied with spray gun in a clean paint area or spray booth. The drying can be in an oven or at room-temperature.

The paint cycle is as follows:

  • High Gloss Basecoat in Black, Gold, Bronze or Copper colors
  • Cromo Silver Chrome Paint
  • Clear or Tinted Protective Topcoat Layer to enhance the saturation of the chrome color

Unlike the galvanized chrome processes that require expensive equipment and dipping parts in baths of harsh chemicals, our products are solvent-based acrylic paints that are more environmentally friendly, easier to use and can be reproduced for commercial production.

We are currently developing new Cromato application videos. So these two videos demonstrate the old chrome application system. However the application of the paints is almost the same, but the Cromato system has one less paint to be applied.

 

Although the chrome painting does not generate mirror finish results because it is not possible with paint, our chrome effect is a very realistic, but above all, it is a quality solution for commercial, artisan, and experienced DIY users.

You can apply the chrome paints on many types of surfaces: plastic, metal and wood. Objects can be round, square, large, and small and the result will be the same shiny chrome finish. No special equipment is required besides a gravity feed spray gun and air compressor. And, of course, it is very helpful to have a clean area or spray booth to obtain the best dust-free chrome results.
